Seeing a couple of bears near a fish hatchery was fantastic. And the no-name waterfall was beautiful. Our guide did a good job (can't recall her name) and gave some history of the area as she drove. And seeing the bald eagles was very cool.

Alan_A

Beach walk was fascinating, guide pointed out many sea creatures. The start was a little tough, as the original guide was sick and they had to find a substitute. But Aaron did a great job!

Daniel_N

Our tour guide was awesome. Very sweet and knowledgeable. !! She took the time to give us great information

Tammy_M

Knowledgeable local driver. Must have missed the bottled water. Waterfall, totem polls, salmon stream, that's about it.

Deb was very informative and friendly. She explained a lot about the plants and trees. I’d recommend this tour and Deb to family and friends

Excellent Tour with Debbie, very knowledgeable and helpful. Made sure we saw all that we wanted and took loads of photos for us! Highly recommended small family business. Just a point about the Meeting Point, we spent time looking for the address (and even asked locals) but there is no number on the building. It is part of the Visitor Centre building right by the Cruise Ship Docking area. (Our ship docked a few miles away but there was an easy free shuttle bus)

DAVID_H

We really enjoyed the waterfall, harbor seals & salmon ladder. The Totem poles were very interesting as well.

Sandy_L

When we arrived Ketchikan, it was raining. We walked from our port to Berth 4 Visitor Center for check in. The process was fast and easy. Our guide was very informative and able to answer all our questions.
